Research Assistance for the Spring Exercise

ø

HKS Research Librarians have created this 2016 Spring Exercise Research Guide for 1st year Master of Public Policy (MPP) students completing the two-week long challenge. The guide links directly to Harvard Library database subscriptions, websites and data sources related to U.S. immigration and migration policy, including an important section on Congressional Resources.

U.S. Government Information Sources – Federal and Congressional Law Making are two other HKS Library Research Guides that will help students get started with research involving the U.S. Federal Government.

Email library_research@hks.harvard.edu or call 617-495-1302 to schedule an appointment to discuss specific research needs, Monday – Thursday, 9 a.m. – 5:30 p.m. and Friday 9 a.m. – 5 p.m.
